Surveys of Recipients and Providers of HUD Technical Assistance and Training (Available Upon Request) The goal of HUD’s technical assistance and training is to help customers navigate challenges associated with HUD funding and programs and points them in the right direction to best serve their communities. HUD provides TA and training across its portfolio of programs, including public housing, Native American housing, community development, rental housing, and fair housing. HUD does not currently have a mechanism to systematically solicit TA or training recipient feedback. The goal of the proposed survey(s) are to systematically collect information across TA and training engagements to learn how effectively they achieved the desired outcomes identified at the start of the engagement. From the information collected, HUD will be able to understand which types of TA and training are preferred by recipients and which seem to be most effective in achieving specific outcomes, and hold TA providers accountable for the quality of TA and training provided. It will provide information that will help HUD continuously improve the way it provides TA and training. HUD is particularly interested in comments that address the following questions: For survey of recipients and providers of HUD technical assistance: (16) Is an online survey sent after the TA engagement a practical way to capture feedback about the TA? (17) Is a rating system (e.g. rank the TA on a scale of 1–4) an appropriate way to assess customer satisfaction with the TA? (18) What type(s) of survey question(s) would best measure customer satisfaction with the quality of TA provided? (19) What other methods besides a survey could be employed to assess the quality of TA provided? For survey of HUD training participants: (20) How can HUD most accurately measure customer satisfaction and outcomes of training? (21) Should the survey of online or virtual training participants be different from the survey for in-person training participants? (22) Are there any other questions that the survey should ask of HUD training recipients to measure the effectiveness of HUD training? HUD encourages interested parties to submit comment in response to these questions. Comments submitted in PO 00000 Frm 00070 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for Office of Management and Budget approval of the information collection request; they will also become a matter of public record.
